Committee approves Fiscal Manager and Contract Monitor positions to handle grants and transit responsibilities
Summary
The committee voted to create one Fiscal Manager (Grade 15) and one Contract Monitor (Grade 14), both included in the 2026 operating budget; Alan J. Sorensen said the roles will help align responsibilities for grants and Transportation Transit work.
Robert C. Sassi moved to create one Fiscal Manager (Grade 15) and one Contract Monitor (Grade 14); Michael L. Essig seconded the motion. Alan J. Sorensen, FAICP, said the department has been "trying to better align the positions in the department and sort out the responsibilities for the people involved, especially when it comes to grants," and that both positions were approved in the 2026 budget.
Virginia Scott asked whether the Fiscal Manager would oversee grant implementation; Sorensen said grants may be part of the role but the primary responsibility may be Transportation Transit outside the department. When committee members asked who currently performs the duties, Sorensen said they have someone in mind who is already doing comparable work. Stacy Butler, Deputy Commissioner of Planning, confirmed that backfilling would occur if positions remain available. Chairman Stephen R. Hunter, Jr. commented that multiple departments requesting Fiscal Managers highlights the importance of the role.
The motion passed by voice vote, recorded in the minutes as "Motion carried. All in favor." No roll-call or individual vote tally was provided in the transcript.
